Q. Is rhinoplasty difficult if you have rhinitis?
Hello. I’m Director Cho Gyu-sang of AB Plastic Surgery.
Today, I’ll answer the question of whether rhinoplasty is difficult if you have rhinitis.
Most people are considering nose surgery, and those who have rhinitis may be worried that inflammation will develop after surgery.
In conclusion, in most cases, it does not have an effect.
Rather, if rhinitis is related to changes in the internal structure of the nose, surgery can treat the rhinitis while also improving the shape of the nose.
Functional rhinoplasty is a surgery that improves the shape of the nose while treating rhinitis at the same time.
If you have rhinitis, rather than proceeding with rhinoplasty alone, it is important to address the functional issues together, so it is a good idea to consider functional nose surgery.
